But Watterson denied she herself had done anything to cause the baby's reaction that day.

The court heard Sarah had resumed breathing "with a gasp" before ambulance officers arrived and was later taken to Redcliffe Hospital.

Watterson said she had later asked the staff about any potential link between immunisations and the child's state that day but that had been "dismissed".

After that day, she said her mothering style became "a little more paranoid" and she would often sit and watch Sarah to make sure she was breathing.

The court heard the infant was later taken to the Royal Children's Hospital on a separate occasion, with Watterson also describing staff as "absolutely dismissive" when asked about a potential immunisation link.

The court previously heard Watterson allegedly confessed to police in August 2013, a month after she was charged with attempted murder.

Her defence team will argue those confessions were false and brought on at the time by an undiagnosed mental disorder.

Watterson is expected to continue giving evidence when the trial continues on Wednesday.
